I have a new MacBook ProI have a new MacBook Pro. When I try to edit a Word document in any way I get a screen that says Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; that I may lose the info. I was working on and I can't recover my work. Help?

After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work. This just started; before it was working fine. Help?

This is a Microsoft problem. Contact them for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Javaw.exe has encountered a problem a needs to close

    Hello,
    I'm working with an videoconference application (SIP Communicator) in a Java Web Start application. I've got to access to download the jnlpo file and the application run apparentely without any problem, but when I try to call a user I get a java error message "javaw.exe has encountered a problem a needs to close", and when I check this error I found the following issue:
    AppName: javaw.exe     AppVer: 6.0.140.8     ModName: jvm.dll
    ModVer: 14.0.0.16     Offset: 000fee15
    I think the problem come from capture device detection, but I'm not sure because the java error dont say anything about this. I guess that is a capture device detection problem because when I check the Java Console I see:

    Could you tell me how can I allow "capture from applets" modifying Java Policy Permission?
    I think that the problem's source comes from JMF, because it doesn't run the JMFRegistry. But I dont know the reaso
    I'd appreciate your help

  • Getting "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem an needs to close" message

    I have an HP Photosmart B210e, product number CN219A.    I am running Windows XP 32 bit and I am using a wireless connection to print. The problem is occuring on an HP Compaq 8510p laptop.
    I have been using the printer for several months and it has worked great but about a week ago, I started getting an error message.   The first time I try to use the printer after turning on the computer I get a message saying "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I am unable to print from that point forward.  Documents that I attempt to print just sit in the qeue.  However, if I shut the computer down and restart it, the print jobs will print on their own as soon as the computer boots up.  But then if I try to print another document I get the same error message and am unable to print.  Once I get the error message I am unable to use the HP software to check ink levels or communicate with the printer in any way.
    I have attempted reinstalling the driver and software 2 times without any success.  I have run the HP print diagnostic utility and it tells me that "everything checks out okay with your printer" and asks me if I want to print a test page.  I try to print the test page and it is unable to print it.
    I have the printer installed on another computer running windows 7 and it still works great.
    Please let me know how I can fix this problem
    I am unaware of any changes made to my computer other than the automatic windows and Mcafee updates.

    I have exactly the same problems.  If you com up with an answer before I do please reply here. I'll do the same.

  • When i try to open firefox i get a message that says Windows has encountered a problem and will notify when there is a solution. Then you can click on the explanation and it says DEP will not allow it to open. Can you tell me how to fix this?

    I was able to install and have an icon on my desktop. When i click on it it automatically pops a box up that says: Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Then it highlights an icon at the bottom to show what the problem is and it is DEP (data execution prevention. I tried a few suggestions there but it didn't work. So it said to see if there is a download version compatable with DEP

  • When I plug in my iphone 4s to sync to my windows computer it opens itunes but when it prepares to sync I keep getting a message that says itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. But this only happens when I connect the iphone.

    I am able to connect my ipod and even just play itunes sucessfully. I have re installed itunes and the same problem presisits.

    Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
    A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

    Well I was able to successfully revert back to iTunes8. Here's my steps:
    1. In Add/Remove Programs I deleted all Apple products (iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Bonjour, etc.)
    2. I then check C:\Program Files\ and made sure all folders were deleted (QuickTime, etc.)
    3. I then ran a Registry Cleaner program to make sure all entries from Apple products were removed.
    4. I then rebooted my PC
    5. I then downloaded iTunes8.0.2 from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
    6. After it installed it said it could use my iTunes library file because it was created with a newer version. So I re-created my library by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    It took some time but iTunes is now back up and running. And I have all my playlists, etc. I haven't tried to sync anything yet. I'm just thrilled to have my iTunes back!

  • I have installed iTunes on my new windows 7 dell laptop every time I start it it comes up with an error saying itunes has encountered a problem and it closes ? any answers have tried command prompt reset and it has not resolved it also un/reinstalled

    I have installed iTunes on my new laptop OS Windows 7. I have two iphones, a 3rd gen nano and an ipod classic.
    Since the install yesterday I keep getting an error message which itunes has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a soluion is available.
    I have un and re installed and followed a command promt reset.
    I still have the problem. Any ideas?

    Ok. So I created a new account and iTunes did work. I went back into my original account and tried again and just to be more clear, after I open iTunes it asks me to accept or decline the agreement, I do that, then it says "updating library", and then one all the bars are full it closes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
    okay, let's start working through the user-account-specific causes of this message.
    one possibility is damaged itunes preference files in the user account in which you're getting the crash. (there's a different set of those in each different user account, which is how we can get crashes limited to a single user account.)
    if that is what is going on, we can often get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the account that is crashing. for the preference files rebuild technique, see my reply to kusma in this post:

    You need to remove all installer file, uninstall iTunes and all related programs, then do a clean install.
    Try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Itunes wont open, says Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When I click on my Itunes icon a big box pops up and says Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. And says tell microsoft about the problem, you know. And I've been trying to access the program for three days and it's doing the same thing, I got a trojan horse right before it started doing it, but I've gotten rid of it and scanned many times, it's gone. I also uninstalled and reinstalled both Itunes and quicktime but it still doesen't work, I really need ideas here..lol.

    Please help me someone. I bought this Ipod 2 weeks ago for my daughters 18th and all we get is this stupid error message all the time. "Itunes have to close - error report etc etc." Have re-installed some many times I have lost count. Know very little about computers so need really simple instructions. I am really not impressed with this if any Apple technicans are reading this and want my money back!!!!
